Y la invasión de Finlandia por la URSS no se dejó pasar así como así. Las tropas que franco-británicas que estaban destinadas a Finlandia, a pelear junto a los fineses frente a la agresión soviética. Despues, bastante tenían ambos con luchar por si mismos.
Según los actuales articulos de la ONU y convenciones bombardeos como los de USA sobre ciudades alemanas matando a miles de civiles con bombas incendiarias serían causal de juicio por crimenes contra la humanidad. Ni hablar sobre Japón, en los bombardeos a Tokio murió más gente que con las bombas atómicas.
Lo de "civil" en una guerra total es un concepto demasiado elástico y cuando las arrasadas eran Varsovia, Rotterdam, Belgrado, Coventry, etc,etc....no se veian manifestaciones en Berlin en contra verdad?. Los actuales conceptos bélicos no son asimilables a aquello. De momento.
Aclaro también que ni USA, ni Inglaterra pelearon la guerra por la ideología genocida de Hitler sino porque trastocó fronteras nacionales e intereses. Si se hubiera quedado tranquilito en su Alemania matando gitanos, judíos, etc alemanes dudo que alguién le declarara la guerra.
Aclaras o dudas?. Que britanicos, que estadounidenses? Los hechos son los hechos, las motivaciones de lo que no ocurre no lo podemos saber, lo que si sabemos es que en Normandía no murieron argentinos.
Ciertamente se puede calificar de irresponsable, de criminalmente irresponsable la cortedad de miras de los aliados occidentales antes del 39, pero defecto, no por exceso de belicosidad. La paz no es un valor absoluto, y que lo vieran asi, provocó una guerra infinitamente más atroz que lo que hubiese sido.
Hay que condenar a los nazis sin endiosar a los otros ( que eran de todo menos salvadores del mundo)
Lo de endiosar se lo dejo a otros...Yo al menos no endioso, a nadie. Yo agradezco. Agradezco a los pérfidos capitalistas que gracias a que lucharon y murieron yo puedo vivir razonablemente sin que nadie que no debe me toque las narices más de lo debido. Y agradezco a los sovieticos que con su esfuerzo desangraran a esa jauria de perros locos que fueron los nazis, esa negación de la razón y de los principios occidentales. Y no creo que haga falta aclarar mi posición frente al comunismo, pero incluso entre liberticidas y criminales hay categorias. El mundo despues de la SGM no resulto ser un paraiso, que raro, pero con otro resultado si hubiese resultado un infierno.
Y ahora y para que veamos las nobles intenciones de los nazis y lo que valia su deseo de paz y todas esas cositas que estamos leyendo leamos como cumplían su palabra estos tipos. Y que la unica y acertada solución fue arrasarlos. Miento, hubiese sido acertada y menos traumática en 1936. Por ejemplo. O en 37. En el 38 ya más dificil...y en el 39, lo vimos.
LA PALABRA DE HONOR DE ALEMANIA.
Austro-German Agreement of July 11, 1936
BEING convinced that they are making a valuable contribution towards the whole European development in the direction of maintaining peace, and in the belief that they are thereby best serving the manifold mutual interests of both German States, the Governments of the Federal State of Austria and of Germany have resolved to return to relations of a normal and friendly character. In this connexion it is declared-
(1) The German Government recognizes the full sovereignty of the Federate State of Austria in the spirit of the pronouncements of the German Führer and Chancellor of May 21, 1935.
(2) Each of the two Governments regards the inner political order (including the question of Austrian National-Socialism) obtaining in the other country as an internal concern of that country, upon which it will exercise neither direct nor indirect influence.
(3) The Austrian Federal Government will constantly follow in its policy in general, and in particular towards Germany, a line in conformity with leading principles corresponding to the fact that Austria
By such a decision neither the Rome Protocols of 1934 and their additions of 1936, nor the relationship of Austria to Italy and Hungary as partners in these protocols, are affected. Considering that the détente desired by both sides cannot become a reality unless certain preliminary
conditions are fulfilled by the Governments of both countries, the Austrian Federal Government and the German Government will pass a number of special measures to bring about the requisite preliminary state of affairs.

Vienna, March 12, 1938.
THIS morning German troops crossed the frontier at Bregenz, Innsbruck, Kufstein, Braunau and Salzburg. In the latter town the German authorities have put under guard the Prince-Bishop, the Governor, and several prominent Catholic personalities.
Seventy aeroplanes have landed a battalion of the Wehrmacht at the Aspern aerodrome in Vienna.
Officers of the Wehrmacht, the S.A. and the S.S. arrived in Vienna during the night. German air squadrons are maneuvering above the city.

M. FRANÇOIS-PONCET, French Ambassador in Berlin,
to M. YVON DELBOS, Minister for Foreign Affairs.
Berlin, March 12, 1938.
FIELD MARSHAL GOERING, during a reception he gave last night, had a conversation with the Czechoslovak Minister.
He gave assurances that Germany had no evil intentions whatever towards Czechoslovakia and that the latter State had therefore nothing to fear from the Reich, and he gave his word of honour to that effect. He then gave expression to the hope that Czechoslovakia would not mobilize.
Returning to his legation, M. Mastny informed Prague by telephone of Field-Marshal Goering's communication. He then returned to the reception and informed the Minister-President that, after having established contact with his Government, he was in a position to assure him that Czechoslovakia would not mobilize. Field-Marshal Goering
then repeated what he had said before, adding that he was not only speaking for himself, but in the name of the Führer, who, having absented himself from Berlin for a time, had placed all powers in his hands.
This morning, towards midday, Field-Marshal Goering called M. Mastny on the telephone. He informed him that the German troops had received orders to remain at 15 kilometres from the Czechoslovak frontier. M. Mastny replied that he took note of this, but that his Government felt it indispensable to take certain police measures on the frontiers of his country. Field-Marshal Goering replied that he had no objection to this.
The Czechoslovak Minister was again summoned yesterday at 5.30 p.m., by Baron von Neurath.
No doubt the conversation between M. Mastny and Field-Marshal Goering, which betrays Germany's anxiety lest her action should bring about the danger of a European war, has not been considered sufficient.

Berlin, March 12, 1938.
BARON VON NEURATH merely repeated to the Czechoslovak Minister, on behalf of the Führer, the pacifying assurances already given by Field-Marshal Goering.
The Czechoslovak Minister took the opportunity to declare that his country would remain perfectly calm, assured as it was of the loyalty of its Allies and of their support, should occasion arise.

M. V. DELACROIX, French Minister in Prague,
to M. YVON DELBOS, Minister for Foreign Affairs.
Prague, March 12, 1938.
GERMANY'S violent action against Austria is naturally considered by M. Krofta as an exceedingly serious menace to the future of Czechoslovakia. But he does not believe that the danger is immediate. He is of the opinion that the German Government is afraid that an action
against Czechoslovakia might lead to a general war, and the declarations made by Field-Marshal Goering to M. Mastny are a proof of this fear.
The Field-Marshal is said to have declared yesterday, at 11 p.m. to the Czechoslovak Minister, that the Berlin Government considered what was happening in Austria as a family affair, but that its relations with Czechoslovakia were of an entirely different nature. Field-Marshal Goering gave his word of honour that that country would not be attacked by Germany.
The Field-Marshal is said to have repeated this undertaking a little later during the night, adding that this time he was doing so Officially, as Herr Hitler, who was for the moment in retirement, had entrusted him with the direction of the State.
Finally, this morning, Field-Marshal Goering is said to have telephoned to M. Mastny that, in order to prevent any incidents, he had forbidden the German troops to approach within 15 kilometres of the Czechoslovak frontier, on the understanding that Czechoslovakia, on her side, should abstain from any interference in Austro-German affairs.
Yesterday, at 5 p.m., on an inquiry made by M. Eisenlohr, M. Krofta denied the rumour that the Prague Cabinet had ordered mobilization or was thinking of doing so. At the request of the German Minister, M. Krofta repeated this démenti during the night, and the newspapers have published it this morning. The Minister has also described as ridiculous the rumour that a great number of Austrian refugees have crossed the frontier into Czechoslovakia. It appears, in fact, that there are in the country only between 90 and 100 refugees from Austria.
M. Krofta does not know whether they have returned to Austria. The Press has been advised to exercise great caution and moderation in commenting on the events.

M. CORBIN, French Ambassador in London,
to M. YVON DELBOS, Minister for Foreign Affairs.
London, March 12, 1938.
THE Czechoslovak Minister has been received by Lord Halifax
and has pleaded the necessity of a positive demonstration in favour of his country. He made the following suggestion:
Our Minister in Berlin, he said, has received the express assurance from Field-Marshal Goering that the Reich has no intention of encroaching upon the independence of Czechoslovakia. The German Minister in Prague has made the same declaration to M. Krofta.
M. Masaryk asked whether his Government might not inform the Foreign Office officially of this double declaration. This step would allow you to take official notice of it and then to address a note to Berlin in which the British Government would place on record the assurance given to Czechoslovakia.
Lord Halifax noted this suggestion and promised to put it before the Prime Minister.
CORBIN.
